My 6-year old son loves math and loved a math computer game he had at school. He reads the "Reader Rabbit" books, so I thought I would give this a try as a math computer game for the summer, but it was a total waste of money. We loaded it onto the computer and every time you want to use it, there is this long, silly cartoon at the beginning (about 5 minutes long), and then there are other cartoons once you select a game. I wanted him to be able to use this as a fun math learning tool, not a cartoon showcase. And who wants to have to sit through the cartoon nonsense time and time again? Plus,once you finally get to a game, the game was really simple and involved burping monkeys. Charming. Like 6 year old boys don't develop enough behavior of that sort on their own; they don't need training from what is supposed to be an educational game.
If you are looking for some challenging math games (or other subjects) for your child, try the free website for "Knowledge Adventure." There are numerous games for every age level and on different subjects. I wish I had known about it before I wasted the money on this product.
